This and That

It's been a little while so some updates:

Laeah is in everything, and I mean everything!  While you are removing things from one hand, she is in the process of collecting more no-no's in the second hand.  She refuses to wear anything in her hair, and continually removes her hats, socks, and shoes.  I'm convinced by summer, I may have a nudist.  At least she'll be sporting a cute diaper...I hope.  She has said the words "I love you," "buh-bye," and "candy" lately.  After candy, S and I were sure she said, "I need that."  lol

Jules is still growing like a weed. She's now 12 lbs, 12 oz, so she gained 9 oz in a two-week period.  Yikes!  I won't be able to carry her in her carseat soon, so I'm hoping spring comes quickly!  I need to sell her 0-3 mos clothes now, but I had difficulty parting with her newborn clothes.  Not sure why!  I took her for shots yesterday, so she's a little grumpy today and has a slight fever.

I went to the much anticipated Kid Stuff Sale last week and saw several people whom I hadn't seen in quite a while, which was very nice!  I find I'm either working, changing diapers, doing laundry, nursing, sleeping, or thinking about sleep 99% of my day, so it's nice to see adults once in a while.  I know my littles won't be little for long, so I do treasure them, which is probably why my house looks like a cyclone continually moves from room to room. 

I'm a bit sad right now because I missed the Maple Sugar Festival today, in 60 degree weather.  S and I decided the mud would just be too deep to haul around four kids, two of which would need a stroller.  I have a Moby to carry Jules, but she hates it.  I think she likes to stretch too much and it just doesn't allow her to do so.  I read others like Tulas and Kinderpacks, but after I saw the prices on those puppies, I believe I'll just live without them!  If I was planning on having more kids, that would be one thing, but I don't need to spend $150+ for the last two.  And then I think about people who only have one and spend that much...hmm...and then I put doubts in my mind.  Okay.  If I were to find one at a sale for a great price, then I might invest.  Chances aren't high, however.  I plan on attending the Little Treasures sale in a couple weeks, but I doubt I'll see anything that nice there. 

Lastly, I finally bit the bullet and ordered 12 more diapers.  Once all of them arrive, I should have a total of 29 diapers for two children.  I'm hoping that's enough, and I'm hoping I have the self-control not to buy more!  haha  I don't think I'm a fanatic like some, but the cute patterns are hard to resist.  Did you know they make ruffles that attach to diapers?  And diapers that look like Tigger's head--you can't even tell it's a diaper!  I of course can't afford these diapers, but they are fun to look at!  Actually, I'm secretly hoping by investing in diapers, Laeah will potty-train earlier than the other two and faster, leaving me with too many diapers for one child--you know, in irony.  We'll see.  Snugglebug took one week to train.  Lovely took about 4 years.  I'm praying the last two are not like the first!
